There's a vineyard just north of Childers, on a slight rise in the rolling Isis hills. To your left, you'll see row upon row of grape vines, while to your right the canefields spread out to the horizon. Straight ahead is the shed, where you'll find the welding gear, some farm machinery - and the visiting sculptor.

Andrew MacDonald from Toowoomba has come up for a month-long residency at the vineyard during October, as part of the Bundaberg region's Crush arts festival.

He's already raided the local dump and is turning glass electrical insulators, bits of irrigation pipe and the rusted hulks of old tanks and boilers into a botanical fantasy.

Towards the end of October you'll have a chance to see the finished product, at a special Crush event at the vineyard.
